The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Guild-member Map

Lately (and for a long time), the Guildmember's Map for CG has been annoying me.

A lot.

It keeps me up at night, and furrows my brow.

Why?

Because it is absolutely, and completely awesome, and I don't have one for a large RP site I am on.

How in the heck does the common layman such as myself create something like that for my RP site? It's a medieval fantasy forum.

I know Google offers similar services, buuuuuuuut I think it sort of requires the members to have a Google account, and I'd rather not force members to make that choice if they are interested. Ideally, the map would function as CG's does; on it's own page.
